Missions

Introduction

We believe that God has brought PJGH into being for His glory, the furtherance of the Gospel and the establishing of His Church. Therefore, we declare our complete dependence upon Him for the working of His Ministry to which we are called. To fulfill the great task entrusted to us, we strive to apply principles and practices based on the Word of God, which is our final authority.

No disciple of Christ can afford to be ignorant of the missionary movement of our day. He or she may not be a missionary, but he or she should have a working knowledge of the Church’s greatest task – the evangelization of the world and participate and support mission in any possible way.

The Objectives of Mission Ministry

To fulfill the Great Commission of Christ (Matt. 28:19-20; Mark 16:15; Luke 24:47; John 20:21; Acts 1:8 and 13:1-3)
To minister to the totality of human needs (Matt. 25:31-46; Luke 10:2; 16:19-31 and 10:25-37) so that man may be saved
and brought to the knowledge of God. (John 3:16; Rom. 10:13-15; Col. 1:28-29)
Urgency of World Evangelism

The Church realizes the urgency of World Evangelism, knowing that more than two-thirds of mankind has yet to be evangelized.

Thought for the Week:

Mercy Compared to Forgiveness, Love, and Grace

Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy.

Matthew 5:7

To understand the significance of mercy, let’s compare it to three amazing attributes of God. First, mercy has much in common with forgiveness, although it is distinct from it. God’s forgiveness of our sins flow from His mercy. But mercy is greater than forgiveness, because God is merciful to us even when we do not sin, just as we can be merciful to those who have never done anything against us. God’s mercy does not just forgive our transgressions but reaches to all weaknesses and needs.

Just as forgiveness flows out of mercy, mercy flows out of love. “But God, being rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in our transgressions, made us alive together with Christ (Eph.2:4-5). Love is greater than mercy – it can manifest itself even when there is no wrong to forgive or need to meet.

Finally, mercy is also related to grace, which flows out of love. Grace and mercy have the closest possible relationship, yet they are different. Mercy deals with the consequences of sin, while grace deals with sin itself. Mercy offers relief from punishment, grace offers pardon for the crime.

Just look at what the Good Samaritian did. When he found a Jewish traveler who had been robbed and beaten, he held no animosity toward him. Love motivated him to show the man mercy when he bound up his wounds. And when he took him to an inn and cared for him, he showed grace. Such is the expression of mercy working with forgiveness, love and grace.

Ask yourself: Is there someone to whom you need to show God’s mercy, expressed through your love, your grace, our forgiveness? Think of how you can turn your merciful intentions into practical action
